The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1965, Habit Rouge Eau de Cologne by Guerlain is a masterpiece crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus top note, featuring lemon and bergamot, which give way to an aromatic heart of basil and carnation. The composition then settles into a warm and woody base, where sandalwood and patchouli mingle with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, creating a rich and enveloping scent.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points and let it develop over time. The bright citrus notes will fade within the first hour, but the warm woody base will linger throughout the day.
